Someone here did that to a Lightning.
Turned out very fine.

IMO it looks pretty cool on the above mentioned Lightning, but this one looks like it needs some curb feelers and emerald green paint.

I've seen the lightning on here, this is just a photoshop I did to see what it might look like on a firebolt.

It was supposed to be kind of the flat black look, but didnt quite turn out exactly how I had wanted, but it still gives a decent look at what it might look like.

While it may not be to everyone's liking (F' 'em if they can't take a joke, joke 'em if they can't take a F'...), I saw the bike in the following pictures at the AMA Hall of Fame Museum last year just before Thanksgiving in their Motostars exhibit.

I seen that Travis Barker bike in a mag earlier this year. I think the whitewalls and the "rat rod look" is more fitting on the Lightning than the Firebolt.

i agree. the lightning is a more aggressive looking bike and can pull off the rat rod look. but i have never seen a firebolt done like that. put some laces on and some red/white pistriping, add a few detail touches here and there and you would have a kick ass showbike like nothing else out there.

i like it, but it does look pretty bland in the photoshop state.

That looks very familiar, I think I have the Lightning like that in my garage at home. Be aware, the paint is a pain in the butt, and you have to clean it all the time to look good. Sand the sidewalls first, all the way to the bead.
